lolI thought this disclaimer “IF THIS SOLUTION DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU, THEN GOOGLE “Another blog is already hosted at this address” and find another solution!” was pretty funny.You guys offer some great tips sometimes, but this one did not work.In my case no urls show up under the mapping section and so there is nothing to delete.
i’m with you, Brett… i don’t have any URLs under the mapping section either.
@Brett Bumeter, @JimmyH
Hey guys, please refer Blogger Buster’s post HERE if you still have that error..
This is ridiculous… all the solutions say to “log into your google apps account”, but I’m not a business and I don’t have (nor want!) a Google Apps account! Seems to be a completely separate system with its own login that I don’t know… hell, Google Apps even acts like my blog address is in their system as well. That’s really annoying but I don’t know what the hell to do about it when every solution keeps telling me to sign in to something I never even signed up for.Talk about frustrating. I’m just trying to move my blog from being hosted on my home server, to being hosted with Blogger. Ugh!
@Falcon
Hi Falcon, don’t be too annoyed like this, be cool dear friend, there is a solution for every problem!Sounds like you tried to create a custom domain through Blogger/Google. I’m not sure about what kind of error you encountered actually. You can visit Blogger Help Group HERE or Blogger Buster’s post HERE, or try to google your problem! I hope you will find a solution.
This was EXACTLY what I needed….THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Bartek Real Estate, @Woody Shakti
Welcome to TipsBlogger! Glad that this solution worked for you guys!

Incredible.Very helpful tip.I was afraid that I had lost $10, lost my domain, and was going to have to go through a bunch of hassles (aka learning) in an effort to try to fix this problem.I was nervous as to if I was doing the right thing when the delete warning came up.Thank you again.
John DEven I experienced this error and was afraid like you when the delete warnings were shown! When I found a solution, I thought to share it through this blog. Happy to hear that it worked for you! Keep visiting my blog!

THANK YOU!!!!! this was the only thing that worked for me.. in an instant! solved months of headache!!
Dude, when I searched for a solution to this problem, you were the first result and your solution works, bingo!
NOTE: Give about 10 mins from the time you successfully add your custom domain to Blooger to the time you will see it work. For these ~10 mins you will see an ominous “Forbidden http 403″ message but do not despair. Just wait for a few mins and you’ll be good to go.
Thank you for documenting this suggestion in such clear detail!!

@phone cell cases
Hey replace ‘YOURDOMAIN.com’ with your web address.
THANK YOU!! I’ve worked on this for over 4 hours spread over 3 days.
THANK YOU again for the help!!!
thx.. it works
I’ve been going nuts waiting and wondering what’s going on with my new custom domain purchase. *Thanks* for publishing such an easy to understand quick fix!
Thank YOU!! This error had me going around in circles, contacting my host and Google apps, who both couldn’t help me.
THANK YOU.
100x over.
This didn’t work for me, but got me close. All I had to do was disable the Sites service completely in google apps and after a few minutes it was working. It seems with the Sites service it points your domain to a default google web site template. Had to turn it off. Thanks for the help!
This was incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot for your help!
Thank you so much! This post was very helpful!
it worked. this was so helpful! thank you so much!

Yay! This worked for me! Thanks so much!
Thanks you ….this saved the day.
Thank you SO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fixed my frustrating issue!
I cannot believe this. You have just saved me agony that was going to last for 48 hours as promised by Google’s solution. I moved from wordpress to blogger and was left high and dry.

I had been stuck with this problem for weeks. I had even uninstalled/deleted sites from Apps and was looking for a way to totally disable Apps.
In the end, I had to re-enable Sites, add a domain mapping, then delete the recently created mapping. It works!
Thank you again.
Planning to move to a custum domain,so can u guys suggest me a good domain provider?
Thanx in advance.
